Hi,
First time poster here, came across some very detailed answers, hoping you may have some for me,

As u can tell by heading thats my machine,
I was just wondering if u could list some possible XP drivers,
i've dual-booted the system as I need Vista for some clients

Most drivers that i used for the first p100 on toshiba's site worked, sound didnt, also had problems installing others,
What information Do i need to give?

Thanks

*update* managed to get sound working forced the sound driver to install even though it said it wasnt compatible, made backups before install, reboot, now have sound.

Still am recieving messages saying I have things to install.. Will Post if any further progress, Once done I can Post the exact drivers i used to get it all working so hopefully if anyone else has some questions they may find an answer ;)

Bit of writing and typing there hehe, Haven't been successful in finding any drivers other than default xp : gfx card is NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900GTX
Oh and I bought it in Australia. :)
thanks again for all your work, i know youre taking up your time to do this for me and others, i just think its great work

your missing the main intel chipset drivers, lan card , wifi card , card reader, modem , and hotkeys.
the device id strings are pointing me all over the place but if i can pin it down by model number it will be a closer match.

Sorry Davey,
This is why I've spent the last year using vista, tried this before, and it was a mega pain, couldnt find anything on my specific model, was like it was only one made...
I know that that model number is correct, looking at sticker now.. ???
Ill type it all out for you maybe that might be more help. or take a photo of it?

TOSHIBA
SATELLITE P100 SYSTEM UNIT
MODEL NO. PSPAGA-014001

Serial No.
27017756W

I have already downloaded every driver for the P100 PSPAEA as I was convinced it should be this model for some reason... ( someone may have told me when i first tried this ) The NVIDIA driver installs cant update, The sound installs have to force it,
Thanks for your time
Should I download all the drivers for the other tosh and see how they go???

I havent been using the xp partition and wont be until ive got everything sorted, that laptop is my work, play and life.

look in the left hand list for motherboard click the + next to it then click chipset.
note down what chipset is being used.
again look in the left hand list for network click the little + next to it then click pnp/pci network
you may see two listed one will be the main lan the other wifi.
if your lucky everest will even name your modem as well.
let me know what it tells you and i will see what i can find.

if one of those models at tosh did not help i don't think the other will as what i could tell from the downloads they were almost the same model.
best to see what everest can name direct from that laptop in order to find the drivers.

now i am just about to install windows 7 for the very first time wish me luck

Will download everest and see what I can come up with will be at work for anothers 7 or so hours, will post tonight with everest report...
Thank You for all your work again :)
oh, and good luck with Windows 7 too hehe, Hopefully its not a pile of dog doo like vista...

... hmm i kind of knew itd be another vista orientated OS...
ahh well you put me off testing it hehehe
( although i know i could get it running if its vista drivers.. ffs)
Oh Well, Back to the drawing board Microsoft...

I crashed it :loll:
its now unbootable, have to reinstall it.
was doing some work rounds ready for when people ask.

did not like one i was doing so it crashed

firewall is less of a pain i admit that and it does see all 4 gig of memory under 32bit now,
beats the hell out me me why they are still doing 32bit, with all new cpu's being dual core it would make more sense to carry on with windows xp for 32bit and drop it from vista and windows 7.

but there you go thats micrsoft for you , get every penny they can.
i am going to load it on a very old machine to meet the min spec and see what happens, i bet its going to be as slow as hell.

Thanks Davey,
You've been so much more than helpful, A GODSEND FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW DRIVERS :)
Is it illegal to post a winxp iso with the drivers for my laptop on the net for others ( as long as I leave serial number for other users to put in themselves? )

yes it is illegal to post your product key however , you can post a iso of windows + drivers and let others use their own product key.
there is a loop hole in the law, when you buy windows your not buying the disk its self your paying for that product key number.

as long as you don't share your product key your not breaking the law.
thats why i will not support any sort of questions asking for any sort of product keys, i like my site way to much to get in to that sort of thing.
